Hey guys,

So as a little side project I'm going to build a pc to mine with.

I will use GPU mining but the trouble is I'm deciding on what coin to mine. Anyone have any suggestions one what good altcoins there are to mine?

I would be looking to mine more newer coins as it is going to be a simple rig so would need to be a pretty newish coin to actually mine a decent amount.

Anyone have some input?

You should visit whattomine.com as someone above mentioned, it helps you consider your GPU is suitable for which algorithm/coins, also the profit/ROI as well.
Typically, for AMD: RX series, you should mine ETH/ETC/XMR/UBQ/ETH dual mine...AMD Vega you should consider XMR/ETH.
And for Nvidia Gtx 1000 series, you should go with ZEC/ZEN/XZC/VTC/LBC/FTC/Neoscrypt coins....or Nvidia P106-100, you could mine ETH and the mentioned coins for Nvidia 1000 series GPUs.

It depends

You either try to mine something what is profitable straight up, and just dump coins to cover your costs.
Or mine new coins and support the project behind them, but you most likely not gonna get much back for a long time might even be years. And there is always the possibilty of bust.
My advice would be to read a lot about different coins and there communty. The more active communty the more likely you will see your investment return.

ATM I`m into POLY/CSC(CXX) not really mainstream coins they just fit my low computing power (GTX960)

Thank you everyone for the response.

I am thinking of maybe mining Siacoin. It's a good project that I think good get big and along with hat very easy to mine with a basic setup with one good GPU.

There is also the cryptonight option but I'm looking into that as I don't know to much about it.
